/* We partition all mergable input sections into sets of similar
   characteristics.  These sets are the unit of merging.  All content
   of the input sections is scanned and inserted into a hash table.
   We also remember an input-offset to entry mapping per input section, but
   the content itself is removed.  After everything is read in we assign
   output offsets to all hash entries, and when relocations are processed we
   lookup the given input offset per input-section, get the matching entry
   and its output offset (possibly adjusted for offset pointing into the
   middle of an entry).

   The input-offset-to-entry mapping (in map_ofs/map) is sorted, so in principle
   we could binary search it, but that's not cache-friendly and it's faster
   to add another lookup structure that gets us very near the correct
   entry in just one step (that's what ofstolowbound is for) and do a linear
